I heard last week that FIVB changed mind and there won't be "bubble system", but tournaments in 4 places. It was said by polish journalists and they said very playful, that FIVB still changes its ideas. So maybe Italy applied for one of these tournaments.
I heard about this as well, two groups in Europe, one is Asia, and the other in the Americas.
How will the final round work with this format though or if there will even be one?
I keep wondering how the Brazilians will be able to go to any other country in the world 
According to the Turkish volleyball federation President's statement , italy turkey and usa have applied to Fivb to host The women's vnl.

Where Covid is still spreading rampantly
Makes sense though, countries that have it under control would never apply. I just hope it's not mandatory to go this year.

All of it?

It is going to have to be. May not be able to fly to other countries, depending on rules.

good to hear that these things will be settled shortly
Italy probably doing the tournament because they are expecting the top teams not sending their best players.

I doubt Mazzanti put best players considering the lobg and exhausting club season
But now that they are at home they can make play some of starters
But I doubt Italy is aiming to win this
I don't see a stadium mentioned in the articles.
RDS Stadium where they're playing the Coppa Italia? Or are there multiple stadiums?

I imagine one of them is the ones from the coppa italia finals
But I don't know rimini,can a italian explain ?
I would imagine they would choose conegliano,milano,verona instead
I never heard a tournament realized in rimini before
Teams will play 15 matches in 4 weeks and it starts just 3 weeks after the end of league seasons 
On the one hand I think keeping it short may increase the chance that all teams will indeed participate and maybe also some with their best players, but on the other hand it will be extremely exhausting to play so many matches in such short time without enough rest after league season and without time for good physical preparation

I didn't either, I just found it on google

Surely there are going to be some big rosters. Other than ranking points... I wonder how many will take this super seriously
I think they picked Rimini because it's a pretty big summer tourist hotspot, considering there won't be much tourism this year there would be many vacant places for accomodations and various facilietes (auditoriums, conference rooms etc.) in a pretty restricted place. For the stadiums, I think it would be RDS Stadium and/or Palasport Flaminio (I'd say likely both), but I can't see an official announcement on it yet.
I just saw they're going to have both female and male tourneys in Rimini at the same time, so likely on of the stadiums for female and one for male, or maybe even play some of the matches in nearby cities, I think there are at least like 7/8 available stadiums in around 30mins of travel from Rimini

Is there a possibility to make some changes inside the squad during the tournament, or do they have to play all 15 matches with the same 14 players?

I think there is no info about it yet, but it would be sheer madness to allow only 14 players. I expect FIVB will allow 18 or 20 players for the tournament, maybe even more...
